Histopathology and PR-protein markers provide insight into adult plant resistance to stripe rust of wheat.

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a serious disease of wheat.

The reactive oxygen species are involved in resistance responses of wheat to the Russian wheat aphid.

The effect of Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), infestation on the hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) content and NADPH oxidase (EC 1.6.3.

Isolation of a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) from wheat.

Evidence for the presence of a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) from a monocotyledonous cereal is presented. A 40.3-kDa PGIP that was closely associated with the cell wall was acetone-extracted and purified from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Glycoproteins from Russian wheat aphid infested wheat induce defence responses.

Elicitors are molecules which can induce the activation of plant defence responses. Elicitor activity of intercellular wash fluid from Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) infested resistant (cv Tugela DN), and susceptible (cv Tugela), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), was investigated.
